"Bronze Award Winner, Moonbeam Children’s Book Awards 2011
Lord Archibald knows the school year is off to a bad start when he is kidnapped and then dramatically rescued by a sword-wielding stranger. No complaints if you’re a princess—but not so great when you’re a scrawny son of a duke in 19th-century England. When other boys are also attacked, it becomes clear that someone is out for blue blood in Wyndsor, England’s School of Kings. Archie must put aside his bumbling ways, don his sleuth’s hat and figure out who’s behind the sinister attacks, and what they’re really after, before it’s too late!"

Lord Archibald can’t wait to spend the summer visiting Knightwatch, the most elite knight school in 19th-century England, where Archie’s older brother, Alexander, and their friend Calico are training to become Black Knights. Then, a secret file is stolen and Alexander is framed for it—Archie sets out to find the real thief, but instead, he stumbles upon an even bigger mystery. Friendships are tested, promises are broken—and when their very lives are threatened, Archie realises he must race against time to uncover the truth about a Black Knight who was killed seven years ago: Calico’s father."
